Dom Chiodano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It is Dom time. Where are we? Where are we? What did we make of last night? Well, I'll tell you, in Wisconsin. Don't go against Thanksgiving. Don't be it crazy. That's a holiday apparently. Maybe only second to Christmas is one takeaway. That's what happened to Ms. Hong. But in addition to that, don't fall around with Milwaukee. Milwaukee is a miniature Philadelphia. Remember Trump? Bad things happen in Philadelphia. Well, suddenly USB drive. As soon as you hear that. All right. Wait a minute. Our vote tabulation is held up here. One of the odds of Democrat establishment had a hand in that because they didn't want this horrific candidate to win for obvious reasons. But does this calm down their DSA mobs? I would say no. As far as the polling... I think people get a kick out of this, that the polls could be that much off. We can't go back and forth. Look, well, we all use the polls and talk radio. It gives you some handle, maybe, on what's going on. But with the polling, two straight now, Michigan and then Wisconsin, what could have happened here? Well, one of the things that happens here with younger voters is they may be fired up. You may feel that as a pollster. the ones that you're hitting. And they're definitely going to be more in the DSA, the Hong side, than this guy Crowley. But particularly in the midterms or in a primary midterms, do they show up and vote? And the answer is no, it's an unreliable vote. That's why this idea of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the coming midterms is going to be a generational election. We'll see. There's only one issue that I sort of believe it does it like that. And that is abortion, young women. We saw it with Josh Shapiro against Doug Masteriano. That's an issue that has play. But last night, I've seen her before. We saw this lieutenant governor in Minnesota unleashed running for the Senate, Peggy Flanagan. Peggy wearing a shirt saying protect trans with a knife on it.

I just would like somebody in the media to ask, who's a knife for? Is that gender affirming care? Or is that knife there to protect someone? Who's a knife for? All these other races, the pillow, my pillow guy and all, go home, stop it already. They don't matter. But what we saw play out in Wisconsin could have confidence. I don't think it's going to still. These voices, and I think they're operational in Philadelphia. I did go to this great Republican event last night, young Republicans, and Joe Becozy will be on, the guy that won at the age of what, 29 in northeast Philadelphia, but it was in a speakeasy. You had a woman at the door that has to take your name and all. I wasn't like Henry sent me. I was going to say that just to see what this woman would say. You don't have to say any kind of code to get in. But it was a real speakeasy at 15th and Samson with a guy on a piano like we were in the 20s. And just a great group, hope for the future with young Republicans. They couldn't answer why a burrito cost 20 bucks. But I did pick up. any number of other things. By the way, tomorrow, seeing where socialism goes, Bill Debblin will be with us from Cuba. That's right, Pastor Bill Debblin in Cuba for some youth development thing, I think for the next three or four days. And Bill Devin will give us a bird's eye view. of what it's like in Cuba. So don't miss that tomorrow. We'll get you the time. We'll get all that stuff going on. All right, it's 855, 839, 1210. It's AT&T, and it's Verizon Wireless. All you have to do is just push pound 1210. One quick item that's just starting to bubble up, and it affects everybody. I'm not even sure. I should have asked Diane Cardano if she's listening. If you are a real estate agent, a realtor. Can you, I know in Jersey you can't. If you're in Pennsylvania, can you bring up the crime rate and the ratings on schools, all of which the ratings on schools are fraudulent. Can you imagine? Tell me about the schools here, Mr. Dom. We're out there. I'm selling a home in Philadelphia. They suck! Okay, thank you. And they're always going to suck. Oh, my kid won't be five for another four years. Good. Establish your home here and be looking for another one because they will suck and they will always suck. There is no hope. There is nothing else you can say. That's the only way to stop this. I'm mentioning this because it just came out yesterday that in their first week in office and the memo is out there. The Biden administration under penalty of law. issued this directive to real estate people telling them, this is DEI at its worst. They can't bring up crime rates or school ratings when talking about a home. And if asked, I think they're supposed to mumble and say nothing. And the directive says, in order to create a more diverse society.

These things are out of bounds. Now, can you imagine this form of censorship? Now, look, you could say, well, I'll just do it myself. Well, why should you have to do it yourself? And guess what? All the big outfits, I'm looking at this from the directive, Zwillow, Redfin. Outfits like that, the National Association of Realtors, put up a webpage in 2023 titled How Do We Handle Client Questions About Schools and Neighborhoods, which told realtors to point home buyers to other sources of information rather than providing them the facts themselves. So they all went along with. Why? I understand why. Why would the Biden people do this? Because this is what DEI does. This is what that party does, whether they're nuts like hung or just addled like Biden. You can't be answering those questions. Now, wouldn't they take into account the real estate agent wants to sell a home? Do you think the real estate agent is going to say what I said? Asking about crime, are you kidding me? Krasner is the DA. Hear those sirens when you came in? We're in Hunting Park here in Philadelphia. Oh, what can you tell me about crime? Look outside the window. But aside from that, think about it. Think about this mania to keep information from people. Are the Biden's going to live in a neighborhood like that? And this could be a telling factor for I once did. I was on an overnight time. And I did it nationally, too. A whole show asking people a simple question. You had two homes. They were exactly rated the same value. What was it different in this development? And people were saying, one had a fireplace. You know, one had French stores, open it up in here, you know, stuff. It was nuts. Hundreds of answers. And the answer was this. They were on the same block. But one home, remember, this development that are of the same, was in. Baltimore City, the other was in the county outside of Baltimore. It was that close to borderlines. Well, if you have to go to the Baltimore City schools, our chaplains are standing by. And if you're in the other county, they were decent. So right there, on paper, you see what the difference is. The idea being schools and crime matter to people. Well, what's the most reliable source? I don't care what you say it is. It's whatever sources people go to. And they want to ask the real estate agent a question. Is the real estate agent really going to talk down the neighborhood? They're out there selling a person. But this is how maniacal the Democrat Party has become. This was under Biden in the very first week. And it's just surfacing now how far this went. With this grand argument, this is all about creating more diversity, more equity in America. DEI, don't tell people the factual evidence, and you should be able to give them a multitude of things when it comes to the schools. So think about whatever neighborhood you're in. What would you say to that question?

You know, what you say? Well, I'm going to have to look something. I know you would give them a feel. We had Luke Capelli Jr. on from the Camden County freeholders, whatever they call themselves now. And he said there are going to be several dozens, I think, of $300,000 homes. And he talked about a $500,000 home in Camden. And he said, you can come to the ribbon cutting. Camden's gotten better, no doubt, crime-wise. The statistics bear that out. But am I paying a $500,000 house in Camden? I think you should just go to a casino and roll the dice. Come on. It's better, though. Is it that much better? What about the schools, though? I still think they're bad. Maybe not as bad as Philadelphia, though. That's how bad Philadelphia is. So how do you get away with this year after year, how bad the schools are in Philadelphia? Well, you're not allowed to tell people that. You have to lie, if necessary. All right, phone lines are 855, 839, 1210, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all that you need do is push pound 1210. Now, we're not sure which day they're going to do it, but the WNBA is poised this week, one of these days, with a secretive meeting, which will leak out, essentially to define what a woman is. I mean, that's what it comes down to. In order that these two males can't play in the WNBA or trans, maybe trans, though I play, I'm not sure. I'm not even sure what the definition of trans is. Does that mean you say it and you are? Does it mean you do something like testosterone restriction? Does it mean you have to do a bunch of things, surgery, et cetera, in order to be transitioning, to be trans? So we'll see what they come up. This is going to be hilarious. So what we've cooked up, you give us a word. Of course, too obvious we're starting out, a man and a woman, but you can, Henry brought up a liar yesterday when we're talking about it. And if you turn to, think about it this way, if you turned in the encyclopedia dictionary or the Google, there would be a picture of this individual or. of this situation, and that would tell you what a man is, what a woman is, what a liar is, take anything that you want. Now, I'm sticking by one, a woman definition I think of it, and Rose said, that's an awful definition. I said Marilyn Monroe right out of the box because of longevity, because of the whole thing that's connected with it, you know? I'm not saying the most beautiful or whatever. I'm saying Marilyn Monroe. Oh, Henry doesn't like, what's your woman then? Seems kind of sexist almost. Oh, well, okay. Oh, yeah, I'm coming up to gate firing today. I don't know, a woman? Yeah. That's a good question. Uh-oh. Oh, it doesn't have an attack. I got Marilyn Monroe on the table. I'm calling this hand. We'll come back to that. I have no idea. Well said. So you focused on the mail aside of this. And when I was Googling this, a great answer. Linda Kearns would have put this up was Darth Vader for the mail.

Something about how Darth Vader feels like a male who has great talent but is stifled and that's what modern society does. Darth Vader is a male. That's preposterous. I agree with that. That's old. And speaking of Kearns, when I think of a guy who is a weasel, I do think of the mayor of Amity. Larry, I don't care if he got reelected. That guy is a weasel. So you're changing up. I thought Krasner was a weasel. No, Krasner is more direct than this guy. Yeah, a weasel is more indirect. Yeah, got it. Now, Krasner goes down Broadway. Got it. He's a punk and impeach, but that's another thing. Of course. All right, Henry, maybe you collected yourself. What do you have today? Yeah, so at least for my answers. Yes. When I think of the word suave, I think of the kind of cool, on-screen, effortlessly cool. calm demeanor that was Paul Newman. That's a real good one. Yeah, whether he's Reggie Dunlop, whether he's Bush Bill Cassidy, whether he's Doc Hudson in cars. Yeah, I mean, the man just had the suavvvness about him that, you know, you kind of yearn for almost like, man, why can't I be like that guy? He's so suave. And then the other one I'm going to take off the board is the word con artist. That's one word. That's C-O-N-A-R-T-I-S-T. One word, con artist. And I think of this word, I think of our friend and former athlete here, Ben Simmons. as he posts another, you know, summer workout video this time with the Australian, you know, national basketball team preparing his NBA comeback. I don't know about you. I've seen, I don't know, one to 15 too many of those. It seems like every off season, the man was putting out like an insane workout video. I'd be like, this year is the year. And then what does he do when he gets in the court? He doesn't look at the hoop. He's looking to pass it to anybody else. Maybe he'll get a few rebounds and steals. But, God, he's a con artist. He sells everyone. a false bag of goods every year well i i like uh the first one that suave i would say sean connery is james bond too but newman yeah it's pretty hard to beat paul newman in it and almost any circumc even in um as as uh the prison uh film why am i blanking on it he does have that uh Eric Swalwell thing when he's trying to con the uh the boss cool and luke yeah well It doesn't work in the end when they shoot them. We're not going back to the prison. You know.

We're going to go 100 miles away. Hopefully he'll die on the way. Kirk, how about yours? My definition of a hero is this dog, his name is Ace. He's a German Shepherd. He got shot in the leg because this guy was wanted for a bunch of charges, and he shot upon police and this dog. The dog survived, but the guy's dog, his leg amputated. He's healthy. He's doing great. So I think as the word hero, I think of this dog, Ace. All right, so you can take a broad thing like male or suave or a woman. Marlon Monroe stays in on this. I'm taking that off the board before you get it. Romaine text Henry. That's it. I told him no marijuana Monroe. I've got my woman. Okay. Who's the woman? Cleopatra. Okay. That's a good one. All right. Yes, absolutely. Beat that Zinos. I still would take Marilyn Monroe. The Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s weren't with Cleopatra. We're not getting on a boat. She has her boat. Now, we have the boat. What you do? Star in some movies? Come on. See happy birthday? How is she still relevant that people reference Marilyn Monroe? That's 1961 or 62, whatever it is. I mean, I have a theory that, you know, it's kind of like if people die too young, they get sort of a clout for that. Yeah. But something like James Dean, yeah, people remember Marilyn Monroe is still. I get it. It's almost annoying, I admit. How is that? But it is. All right. I'm sticking with Marilyn Monroe. I'm with you, Dom. I'm with you, 10%. All right. So as they struggle to define a woman, you can do that by hitting us with one. You can also hit us with suave, liar. Take any term that you want. It's all in the call and all in the person or the situation. You can come up with a situation that defines what you do in a particular moment that matches. 855-839-1210 AT&T and Verizon Wireless, all you have to do is just push pound 1210. What does it mean now that Hong has broken the string now of these DSA wins? Well, I think the DSA people think it was rigged. Sam Hasan Piker does. The USB in Milwaukee. It was very, very close. Why can't the pollsters get it right? Because it's an inexact science. And also, I think these are open primaries. So the people that decide to vote in the end in the Democrat primary could have been independents, Republicans, and they're doing it to stop, Hong. And the last point is it's not so much her position. She's wifty. She sounds wifty. The guy in Michigan is arrogant and goes right after it. But he doesn't sound wifty. You may not agree with the stuff he says, but it sounds like a challenge. This woman, let's ban Thanksgiving. It stuck. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10.

AT&T and Verizon Wireless, all I need you to do is just push pound. 12-10. Nerds! Today's episode is sponsored by NerdWallet's Smart Money podcast.

On Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. Okay, it is downtime. 855-839-1210. That's how you do it. Not a shock, even though the polls, we know they were off last week in Michigan. We see some of the reasons why creeping into these Democrat primaries. But this will, I think, intensify. Because the establishment Democrats, such as they are, will now think this is a signal. This is all died out. I don't think it has. And I think we're going to see it here in Philadelphia. By the way, we mentioned the WNBA as kind of the impetus for today's side question. Here is the coach of the fever. And in this case, Stephanie White, this is cut nine. She talks in the beginning of her press conference, whatever it was, about humility and inclusion. And then she ends up by telling everybody to go to hell. What is it with this woman in this league? Here's how it sounded. No, I'm going to start today. You know, this isn't necessarily for those people that are in this room. This is more for an online community that's trying to create narratives that simply don't exist. trying to create a fabrication or distortion of who I am, of what I'm about. Our player's success, our players' health and wellness, our player's safety is always a top priority for me. One of the things I pride myself on is my relationships with players. For those who have anything to say about the play in the last game, I didn't see the play in real time. I went straight to a press conference. I thought the play got called right. Thankfully, Sophie's okay. Was it egregious? Absolutely. When you have a chance to watch that over and over and over on replay, you can see that. I didn't have that in real time. I take personally any suggestions that I don't 100% always have my players back. I ride with them 10 toes down all the time. All the time. They know that. It's a shame that we can't have an opportunity to talk about what great basketball they're playing.

Because they are fucking playing. The reality is with me, I will always lead with love. I will always lead with grace. I will always lead with humility. And I will always lead with integrity. Doesn't mean I'll always get it right. I'm also human. The hate, the fearmongering, the divisiveness. The stuff that's trying to hijack our league will not win. It won't win. We are united. We are connected. We will not be divided. Every day these women put their on the line. Every day. When they go low, we go high. Love will win. Grace will win. humility will win and kindness will win i stand by them i will always stand by them everybody else can go to hell there you go that's your kindness that's humility you go to hell kindly you oh this league the more the microscopes on it so i haven't seen anything henry maybe it's secret of which day this week it's supposed to be this week they redefine or they define who complain who can't right You know, it's the first I'm hearing about it, so let me see. Well, the clock is, yeah, I mean, that's with the memo. That's what triggered this whole thing last week, where the commissioner says they have to come up with some answer here, and that means definitions. Yeah, they have time if, you know, those guys are trying to enter for next season. Well, it was supposed to be this week. I mean, in the public pressure arena, yeah, they have time until they have to do it with them, but they want to clarify. That's what her memo was about. The top brand the owners, I think. Well, all you need to do is send out a memo saying you're going to do something and then not actually do it. And then when people ask you about it, you just go, oh, well, we're deliberating. This was a call to actually meet this week was in it. Right. I get that. But like they can say they met and then keep going and just have no answer. And the answer is no answer. Yeah, I think there will be more. I think their lawyers are telling them. They got it. say something. It's like I've said times in the show before. Kathy Englebert, the commissioner, is not making it through the summer. Yeah. But aside, I think they are going to try to split a hair here. And we had somebody on, oh, Jennifer Say, who said they might come up with a hormonal thing. And if you do X, Y, and Z with that, you can do it. Maybe that would buy them time. But that gives us the premise for the side question today. Definition of something. So you take. Somebody, some way, man, woman, suave, liar, doesn't matter what it is. And hit us with that. Give us a person or a situation you think that lets us know that's what it is. It's going to be very difficult. Anything you define here is fraught with difficult. As of now, it's very wide open, which is fraught with even more. They'd have to let these guys in. 855, 839, 12-10. But don't think just male or female could be anything. Joe and Columbus on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Joe. Good afternoon, Tom. Good afternoon, Joe. I want to apologize ahead of time for treading on Xenosis territory. Okay. Uh-oh, the Italians going over to the Greeks. It's unbelievable. Yeah. We're all in the Mediterranean. Yeah, there you know.

I'm going to go with the Greek god Adonis. When somebody looks at a guy and says, oh, my, or a woman looks at a guy and says, oh, my God, he's an Adonis. Do we still say that today? Or we say that's a Joe of Columbus. No, I think Adonis still works. And Dr. Oz called that of what's, of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. Then he said he was a gazelle. And all the guys doing, Joe, is eating meat and sourcrow. That's what Marco Rubio said. Gazelles don't eat meat. I know. And the sauerkraut. I'm not eating sauerkraut. I don't care what Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says. But his uncle ran away from a bridge accident like a gazelle. Nicely played. So Adonis, we turn to the dictionary. There we go. Thank you, Joe. Yeah, and he's in Adonis. I think that still works. Well, who's an Adonis? A male. Perfect male. Yeah. So you're saying male in Adonis. Yeah, a male would be the word of the... That's what I want to clarify here, because it didn't sound like he said male, essentially. Oh, no. I know he's referring to a male when you say Adonis. Perfect male. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Marco Rubio, though, talking about, yeah, the lengths he'll go to to get sauerkraut when they're out for dinner. I don't know. I was saying is Marco Rubio trying to make him a nut because he knows he's going to run in 2028, too. He's already starting knocking Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off the ticket. All right. Coming up, Senator Coleman, Jared Coleman, is one of our favorites. Usually he comes on breaking down what's happening in Harrisburg, Josh Shapiro. But he's also a biker, a bike rider. And he's got a bill. We talked about yesterday that I think even though on paper, maybe not horrible, and he's got a breakdown of like 14 points that he sent us in small type. I want to talk about the broader thing of the bicyclist here in Philadelphia with him too. And AI. He's got a lot on that big poll out about AI in Pennsylvania. And it seems to verify what I've been saying. People want a second look at the entire AI thing. We'll see if he agrees. He's next on Talk Radio 12, 10, but first...

I'm Giordano on Talk Radio 1210. All right, it is Dom time. So yesterday we told you about this bill that would, rather than having, as I understand it, bicyclists have to stop at a stop sign or red light yield to traffic, look around and yield. And we were surprised it was Senator Jared Coleman, who was on that side. And I looked at the data he sent Henry. It's very involved about all this. But the broader thing we talked about yesterday, at least here in Philadelphia, with bikes, is not good. Let's go to the senator here and has also got over the course of time a lot to say about AI. I want to ask him about that. Senator Coleman, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Dom, good afternoon. Thanks for having me. Well, we talked yesterday. You know, we agree that I've never seen anybody. Is it your sense that police would ticket them if they don't stop at a stop sign of bicyclist or go through a red light after looking, but we just don't see that. So why the need for this? Yeah, I mean, because the intersections cause a lot of, you know, uncertainness between drivers and cyclists. Now, this isn't, you know, this isn't just in our state. We've seen this across the country. Essentially, you know, I'm a cyclist myself, and I ride a good deal on the road. And what you'll, you know, beyond, of course, there's folks don't like bicyclists. You know, I get honked at and the bird throat at me. And, you know, of course, people just don't like cyclists, you know, in the middle of the road or on the side of the road. Wait a minute. Can I ask you, are you in the middle of the road ever?

No, not in the middle of the road. Okay. You know, we do stay on the side. But look, what happens at these intersections, that's where it's, that's where a lot of the crashes happen. And so, you know, a lot of times you'll come to a stop sign if a cyclist is in the intersection or a red light, for example. And you'll see, and when you talk to a lot of our other cyclists as well, they'll bring this up, but sometimes a motorist will. you know, tell you to go, and even if it's not your turn, and it can be confusing if there's cars oftentimes behind that other person who's yielding, they go around, and they almost hit you inside of an intersection. And we just see that as you adopt these yield laws for cyclists, it just allows them to get out of the intersections quicker. So no longer are you coming, in states that have adopted these, you know, yield, bicycling laws, what happens is you have less interaction with the cyclists at those times where the crashes occur. So you'll see less cyclists in the intersections because they will just proceed on their own, you know, absent the traffic jam. So it helps to promote safety at some of a lot of other states are doing. It does, you know, it does make sense. And while... You know, folks, I think folks have said, you know, well, no one's going to give you a ticket for it. Well, you know, that's not really true. We do see instances where, you know, you are reminded, you know, people will get tickets for going through an intersection. And it's extending now to the e-bikes, right? Dom, that's the big thing are the e-bikes where, you know, they're also getting in the intersections. And so there's questions about that as well. But you talked about, you know, questions you had with bikes down your way, so I'm interested to hear from you, too. Well, yeah, I'm not sure where you are. It's a little bit more open space. But here in Philadelphia, we talked about Henry, my producer, and I. We're here at 23rd in Chestnut. either it's downhill for like three or four blocks and with the e-bike they're going 30 35 even the regular bikes are gone and there's this entitlement with people that bike here and antagonism we're bike-laned up and it's it's more of a liberal thing jim kenny was the architect of this miles and miles of this protected bike lanes so we were just uh you know anything that seems to enhance And I get your safety concerns, the parity with bikers here, I'm opposed to. Yeah, and I would say the e-bide, I see your concern on the e-bikes. You know, e-bikes have, you know, are a concern, but the legal status of an e-bike, you know, it's a double-edged sword. I'm going to tell you on e-bikes because... Understand that it may be different in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and we hear a lot of groups from those cities that want these yield laws because that's where they're even having more issues with the bikers, the cyclists. But double-edged short in the sense that, Dom, on some of these trails that I ride a couple years ago on these trails.

I didn't see too many folks over the age of, like, 55 riding. I'll tell you, when I go out now, you know, especially on the weekend riding, I will see folks, you know, 55 and older who are on these e-bikes and they're out enjoying, you know, they're out doing something active. So it's a... The e-bikes are causing problems, yes, but there's also folks that are benefiting by getting that exercise on a bike where they don't want to get on a regular bike, but they like the e-bikes. They like getting out. It gets them some exercise as a pedal assist function where they're pedaling, but the motors are doing some of the work. And so they're able to enjoy the outdoors up here in Lehigh and Bucks County. And so it is a kind of a double-edged sword, but certainly... You know, the rules on e-bikes right now, technically it's a pedal cycle, right? So they can't weigh more than 100 pounds. They have, the motor has to be less than 750 knots, but they can't exceed 20 miles per hour. under the motor only power. Well, I'll get you a beach share out of here at 23rd in Chesta, and it's like a curve, and it's a door dash, guys, and they're exceeding 20 miles an hour. I think by the time they get to the bottom of the hill, wanted to also talk with you. I see a big survey out. on AI. And finally, I think Stacey Garrity has found something, even with the informing ranks around Josh Shapiro, that is given some traction here. I don't think it's just about the cost, the water, environmental. I think, in my mind, it's people saying, we want to take a second look at this. It was rushed into, we think maybe we're giving up control of our lives to AI in some broad sense. Is it broad where you are, or is it just we don't want to pay for it, kind of? No, no, I mean, it's all of the above. I think, you know, we were out, I was out early, question just rather that they were the right fit simply from a, you know. I hope in state, the Italianated a lot with number one leader in foreign preservation for a federal acreage. This wasn't the right of the concerns, of course, over the noise pollution, the environmental impacts, the electric use is going to be enormous. And these decisions, you know, these data centers are going to live with us for decades. Something that my kids and their kids will ultimately left to reap the results of our decision. So because they needed to be done, that's why we did our moratorium legislation that's up for final passage in the Senate. When we return in September, I'm hoping we can advance that because I'll give our time to, quote, pump the brakes. Let me ask you on that. Real politics. Stacey Garrity says, pause. I would advise to go further. I've been advised your moratorium, what you're taking, and make the whole campaign around.

The MO of what Josh Shapiro does here, he got all that Amazon money, he jumps into the ring, doesn't care about anything, then tries to pretend like he didn't do it, then tries to find an angle of attack on her. What's wrong politically with calling for a moratorium in the governor's race? Nothing. Nothing at all. I mean, except especially being, putting Pennsylvanians ahead of special interests, right? Yeah. That's what you're asking them to do. And so that's the money talks, I think, to the governor that's essentially, you know, should, but you should have, look, that comes with being a leader, right? And that's, let's go back to if Josh Shapiro. really wanted to be a leader on the issue. I get it. He's taking money from Amazon. I get it. He said he wanted to fast track the permits. I get that he did that at that point. Well, now we feel a different way. Pennsylvanians feel a different way in their concern. And it takes a leader. Why doesn't he call a special session? Why would we go back and pass this? Or why doesn't he say, look, I'm hearing from neighbors who are concerned. And I'm going to, we're going to pump the brakes on this. Look, he'll sue President Trump with our tax dollars left and right. But he can't put a pump, pump the brakes on on data center. Okay. Let me interrupt you're the guy with the moratorium. I'm a talk show host. I'm not advancing the bill. So it's easier for me. I don't care about all this China scare. They're going to get ahead of us, whatever. They have nefarious purposes with this, et cetera. I think people are saying, no, we don't want this dominating our jobs, our lives, in addition to the economic types of things. So I couldn't agree more. I think Garrity ought to be calling for a special session, a moratorium, a vote. I think in these suburban communities, I know where you are, I've never seen people yelling like this. You know, that's more of the civil town halls usually. They're going nuts over this. They're going nuts, Domit, on things that I don't, with cross-partisan divides, right, on issues that I don't agree with some of these folks. I will meet some of these folks that are supporting me in this legislation. We don't agree about just about anything else. We debate lovingly against other topics. We don't agree. And, you know, they could be socialists. And I don't care for any of that. Yet on this issue, you know, they're Zohran Mamdani supporters. But on this issue, they're... they're with Republicans. That's, I mean, that just shows that it's about protecting the community, and that's why, I think, to your point, they absolutely should be calling on a moratorium. And again, I just want to highlight, if we had a leader who is more focused about Pennsylvania than Pennsylvania Avenue in the governor's office, he called for a moratorium right now. That's what, that's about, that's what's being a leader. He would do it. He calls to a special session. We take action on it. Again, and if he cared about consumers' price at the pump,

uh for the gas tax he produced the gas tax he can control that and we have a bill for that too dom you know what i mean again so you can't you know it's convenient for him to take action when it's issues that he cares about but uh you know there's a political advantage for people being in pain for him uh because he's going to try to blame it on the trump administration so again absolutely they should call for a pause on this we need to put the brakes on it uh just until we understand this fully and let our communities protect themselves because We're going to be left with these decisions for decades. Absolutely. And Senator Jarrett Coleman, thank you again, up for re-election. Where do we go to help the campaign? If you want to help the campaign, that's Mr. Coleman goes to Harrisburg.com. Very good. Well, thank you. Thanks for coming on today and to be continued. And I'll bring my lawn chair down to, I'm much proud of take my beach chair to the beach, but maybe I'll go to 26. I'm telling you, you will see the spectacle of this. You will think it's a Grand Prix of DoorDash. That's what's going on there. I can't believe the mayor hasn't, you know, tax their bikes yet, but I'm sure she's coming for it. Exactly. Thanks, Jared. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, Dom. Senator Jarrett Coleman here. Yes, Stacey Garrity, call for the moratorium. Call for them to get back in special sex. Don't listen to people telling you, ah, you can do the pause and all that. The poll results that are in on this are across the board. They're Republicans and independents, not quite as much as Democrats, wanting this stop, wanting a second look at all of it. Is that just a scare time? I'm so tired of hearing about China and curing cancer with us. 855, 839, 12, 10, get in, give us that word, give us a situation person, some way of defining it, like the NBA trying to define what a woman is, WNBA, all that straight ahead. First, though, let's talk about great dentistry. I can define that for you. That is Dr. Bentz, my dentist for about 12 years. And think about it. There are a lot of people listening now. We've found this. I've talked to Dr. Bentz. I've interviewed several female patients who for decades had been the rock of the family pulling the kids, everybody together. And then it came to a point where there was a big dental issue or they wanted really to enhance their dental health, be it eating, be it a smile in one way or another. And that healthy, beautiful smile, that's an investment in yourself and your confidence. It's not vanity. So whether you've been thinking about replacing missing teeth and proving your smile or restoring the ability to eat and smile comfortably, you don't have to keep on putting it off. Dr. Robert Bence and Dr. Emily Bence, both board certified prostodontas specialize in complex, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Their expertise, my dental implant, for example, Dr. Bence routinely does it. Beneers, crowns, full mouth rehabilitation, it's all there.

The emotional benefit, though, is something to consider, smiling confidently in photos, enjoying meals, laughing freely, feeling like yourself again. That's big time. You spend a lifetime investing in the people you love. Now invest in yourself. Start with your smile. Schedule that consultation, evaluation, see what can be done.

I see a great one getting what we're doing here. In honor or dishonor of the WNBA on the side question, trying to define what a woman is. Yeah, we know with the simplicity of it, but that's not their business. They can't do that. just to shut out these guys. They got to do something else. Can you imagine the scheming? I like David in Lexington, though. He's got a pretty good one. Hey, yeah, David. Good afternoon. Hey, Dom. Happy New Year. How you doing? Thank you, David. Very good. How's North Charlie? Man, it's as wild as ever. It's rocking and rolling. Yeah, Rose said, I want to go back to Charleston at some point. I wrote a note to my book, Avoid North Charlie at all costs. Yeah, you know, they got a TV show on Friday and Saturday nights where they followed police around, and I've actually got North Chesa County, which is where North Charlie is at. So it's often on there. So, David, from afar, I'll admit this, you know, it's just a personal annoyance. I can't stand the sister of Lindsey Graham being the senator from there running. It's just preposterous to me. Is that why Norman forced enough, even with the Trump endorsement last night, to get a runoff?

Yeah, I'm not happy with her either. I mean, I'm sad what happened to her brother, you know, of course, but no, this is not a training ground. You know, this is the real thing. You don't just jump into this to play senator. So I'm not really happy. Yeah, I hear you. What's your side today, David? So, you know, all my life is coming up to Pennsylvania to visit family and everything, and somebody would find out, oh, you're from South Carolina, you're from the South. And they don't mention, oh, maybe the food or the heat. It's always, hey, say something southern. So it's always the southern accent. Yes. How do you all say this? Well. So it's either the British or the South. I would agree with you. When I think of the accent, I think of the South first. Yeah. Definitely, definitely. Take care because it fits the pace of life. It fits so many films we've seen. Oh, yeah. And just the number of people that want to steal that phrase, y'all, like Josh Shapiro, you grew up in Abington. You can't say y'all all the time. You'll come back now. Yeah, that's it. But you can't say it to be cool or whatever he thinks it is, you know. I grew up in South Philly. I would say use, you can say, but not y'all, use y'all. Or water. Yeah, of course. Yeah, but just the appropriation of that. So accent, you turn to the page, I think Southern's a good one. Yeah. All right. I think that's good illustration. That's what we're looking for. A big one o'clock hour coming up, a lot of stuff coming off last night's dumping of the DSA. And a couple of updates and stuff we've been talking about. Here's how you get in. 855-839, 12-10. Dom Giordano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Dom Gierdano, on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It is Dom time. Welcome in, everyone, 855, 839, 12, 10. Our buddy, wake up, New Jersey, Mike over there, wants to know on Twitter. New Jersey has been rated the second best state to live by Wallet Hub. Wallet Hub is great for talk radio. They always come up with cockamamie stuff, even though Wallet Hub says New Jersey is the second worst to live for affordability. So why in the world would it be the second best state to live? There's only one thing Jersey has going for it that I can see. But it's a big thing with people. It doesn't make it a great place to live because of all the other negatives. But it's why they stay. It's the juice. In other words, Jersey's not flyover country. You got the accent. You got the food. You got the shore. In other words, you've got things that are a drop. And politicians, I guess, know this. So know that people want to stay in Jersey. It's in the blood. They can do anything they want to you and people are still not going to move. I know annually we hear about Dean Van Lines and people moving out of Jersey, but the population is still strong and they continue to do that nonsense. But I don't know how if it's the second worst for affordability because of taxes, etc. How could Jersey then be the second best state to live in?

I didn't look at it this morning. Idaho was number one. Who wants to live in Idaho? I mean, come on. I have family in Idaho. Oh, do you? Oh, you do? Yeah, they like it. All right. Well, it's just, there's nothing wrong with it per se. But there's no buzz about it. Where Jersey, there is. Yeah, you've got to be really into hiking out there. I think then there's always something to do. Whereas, like, I feel like over here in this part of the world, we want, you know, like if you're in Jersey, New York's up top, Philly's at the bottom, you're at the shore on the coast. Yeah. There's plenty of... The shore alone can blot out a lot of stuff. But it's the music, the language, the culture. I mean, you've got a radio station. It's just all things Jersey. You're not going to see that all things Idaho. Potatoes today. Right. Potato recipes, three hours coming up. Okay. One other thing. Quite a struggle coming up. Whenever you see this Congresswoman, she is the face, I believe, of both a dope and a grifter. That is Representative Anna Paulina Luna. And I think she is a lunatic from Florida. She's a Republican. You've seen her attractive woman, Latino. She wants to lure Republicans in under the guise of affordability, capping how much people can be charged on their student loan to 2%. Her argument is this will get people to think, aha, Republicans are good on affordability. Now, Democrats are not being lured easily to do that. They have their own bill they want to do after they win the election. They don't want Republicans to get credit for this. But doesn't this come back to, again, why in the world do we make these special exemptions around the issue of student loan debt? You either have to say, well, this should be treated not like every other debt. You know the argument. People were lured into. How many years are we going to hear the lured into argument? Maybe 20 years ago, big college and the stuff they were doing. And people got degrees that weren't that good, couldn't pay for a better job and all that stuff. Okay. Today, though, do you need a house to fall on you? How many times do we talk about don't build up $100,000 in student loan debt or even 50 or whatever it is? It's going to be a stranglehold. So she comes along with some Democrats trying to get Republicans to say we want to cap the interest rate. Now, Politico's got a big piece up on this. And inside that, they say a lot of this debt are for graduate degrees and things beyond. That's exactly right. So now we have to pay for the graduate degree too. Should student loan debt? be the exception. I mean, the market sets what the rates are, and it's certainly not 2% in almost anything else that you try to get. Why would we set it for student loan debt? The argument is that these people under Biden weren't paying anything, and suddenly Trump administration came along and pulled the rug out from under them by cracking down on what was going on with this.

The Trump administration will give you a break if you have auto pay, for example. It'll take something off. There's a break. In other words, they just take it out of your salary. You'd have to deal with it. Thank God I've never had to face that. It's got to be a shock to every day wake up and still know that you have that crushing student loan day. So why is it, A, that Republicans don't run against big colleges I've talked about for how many years? Or they're ineffective if running against big college. A $20 burrito, yeah, that's outrageous. But what these colleges charge and still get away with is also outrageous. And I've told you one of the reasons is they have a body that sets what you have to be. Definition again. like 19,000 library book, something like that, to be a college rather than something that might be thriftier but not have all the bells and whistles. I mean, what defines what a college is? Well, they say this body does and that's it. And they continue to run up the score in ever-increasing tuition, even if it's a public college. So now let's cap the loan at 2%. How in the world, why would we treat student loan debt differently than other debts that people have? It comes back to that. And I just think this woman is constantly involved in stuff that I'm on the other side of, and it is a grifter, a phony affordability. Now, Joe Picozzi is going to be with us. The guy who won in Northeast Philadelphia, I think he was only 29. Then he was 30 when he took office. A big event last night for young Republicans. And I asked them about stuff like this. And we'll talk affordability with him. He's a really, really sharp guy. He's going to go way beyond the state Senate. I'm not sure what his ultimate call is. And Northeast Philadelphia is a real good example of where Republicans can win. But 2%, let's cap it at that. Wall Street Journal and others say the costs would be in the tens of billions to taxpayers a year. Why should taxpayers pay this? All it's doing is funding big college to continue to indoctrinate, to continue not to connect careers to the courses of study. and to pay outlandish salaries, the people who, as far as I can tell in many instances, are not even there that much, be it professors, college presidents, or the like. In other words, why is this the one that is sacrosanct? And she's got to be involved in it. Well, that's affordability. People are hurting by this. So it brings up, what is it? I know the biggest one is gas prices because we see it at the pump. We know the war in Iran. And that's only going to be solved by an off ramp with Iran that's effective. What else is the thing on affordability even now? Republicans might be able to make their case. They're doing something about it. If you just want to dismiss it and say Democrats cause this, they did cause almost all of it. I agree.

But that doesn't mean that's how it's going to play out for the party in power when we come to the midterms. And I say it almost every day. The infrastructure there is there to win. I don't think this is going to be a blowout. I think the smarter Democrats know that. But we're going to have awfully close races. Fitzpatrick, I think will be close. Ryan McKenzie shouldn't be close. I think it'll be close. just to name two here in Pennsylvania. There are four big ones that are up that are in play. Also, I met a guy, Henry. Now, you know what I've said about the Working Families Party? I have his number two. He's agreed to come on. Nicholas O'Rourke. He's a pastor. He was there last night. Now, the Working Families Party, I think, are communists. And he knew that and said, oh, I'm here. You know, he shows up at a young Republican saying, and they're all friends with him. Oh, really? Yeah, yeah. So I think he'll debate with me on some stuff. We were debating school. He's a minister, too. We were debating school choice. He didn't know about the big, beautiful bill. So you can imagine that there are a few wines thrown back in a speakeasy. I may have spewed out data points for a half hour. Of course. But what a guy, he told me, though, they said last night, one of the things the Working Families Party is going after in this election cycle, there are three Philadelphia commissioners. And like everything else, you get two in the majority party and one of the minority party. That used to mean a Republican. It currently is a Republican. They may have the vote so to put a Working Families person in it as, oh, yeah. And if they do, you have two progressives and then you have a working family's party. You want to say people are going to be suspect of elections. There we go. So all these elections have consequences. If you're voting in Philadelphia, you know in Pennsylvania, we've got to hold the state Senate. If we don't have that, Josh Shapiro and the Democrats in the House. are going to make us California pretty quickly or worse. All righty, 855-839, 12-10. So Joe Bikosey will be here. High hopes for him and a bunch of other people were cooking up. Several people asked, what is Henry really like? And I had to say, well, he's a great producer. A guy knows sports second to none and all that. And other details, you'll have to call them. You'll have to meet him. Yeah. Keep a low profile, but I'm in person. I'm glad to talk to you. Yeah. So the thing coming out of this is we're trying to set up a debate with Bikosi and one of these, if not DAS, they don't seem like you want to do it, but someone like Malcolm Kenyatta, who is very, very progressive and very flamboyant on a college campus like Penn with me as a moderator. And no holds barred on all these issues. All right. Will we get out of there alive? All right, would be the objection. And I'm interested in a co-moderator. You know, I would think this Nicholas O'Rourke, he's a working family's party. We'll balance it out. Yes. As long as my name's first in the market. There was a dispute one time.

with Bill O'Reilly at the Pittman, and the station decided to put my name up first, then Bill O'Reilly's. Oh, man, I don't know about doing that. I had nothing to do with it. Can you see O'Reilly? You kept telling him that, I'm sure. Bill, please. Then O'Reilly shows up like two hours late because of traffic for it. We was really trying to get there. He said, oh, we miscalculate it. Can we get started now? Yeah, we'd like to start now. All right. Let's take Phil in Delaware. Give us the word and give us if you turn to a page, a situation or a person. I see some brilliant ones on Twitter that fits it. Henry and I've talked about this all the time as an example. You say genius. No one's going to say, oh, that guy's no Elon Musk. They're going to say he's no Einstein. That's why I went with Marilyn Monroe. Einstein, Marilyn Monroe. You stick it to it. Did you know that Marilyn Monroe wanted to be a genius? She married Arthur Miller, the playwright. There you go. Yeah. Interesting. Can you put me in the crucifle? I said, yeah. Can you imagine Marilyn Monroe in the crucifle or something? And then there was Joe DiMaggio. Oh, God. What a marriage in hell, those two. I just think Joe DiMaggio was one of the most awful guys. Sorry, Joe of Columbus, don't drive off the road. As a player, he was unbelievable. And nobody looked better than Joe DiMaggio. He just looked great in a uniform. The anchored. Apparently, as a person, it was just not good. Phil in Delaware on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Phil, what do you have today? Hi. And good afternoon and happy Hanukkah to all. Of course. Thank you, Phil. I tell you what, last night was a joyous evening, and I slept better than I have in ages. I spent the evening until Rita was done her show, and we were watching the polls. And I tell you why, I was thinking that thumb drive, that's there in to sneak in a whole bunch of Bill Eagles and say, oh, we don't know how it got there. Yeah, that thumb drive was like a swollen thumb suddenly. You know, we found 50,000 votes here in this thumb drive. Yeah. Yeah, wonder how that happened. But I'm glad it held its ground and we got them. Well, Milwaukee, I think, is every bit as bad as Philadelphia. They just don't, they're not as big as us, that's all. Well, like they say for babies, one step at a time. Let's keep eating at them and make sure that the Republicans get off the ropes like you once said. They've got to get in the battle or just sit it out and say, ah, we tried. No, you didn't. Absolutely. What's your side today, Phil?

Well, when you think patriotic and you think the American flag, that one picture of Patton with the American flag behind him and him wearing a helmet, I mean... That would be something you'd look up in Wikipedia and patriotic, his picture would come up. Thank you very much. Imagine Patton today with social media. Well, he wouldn't last 30 seconds the stuff he was doing, you know, kicking a guy out of the hospital. Get up and get out of here. I'll shoot you, you know, tell him the doctor, put him back in the front lines. We need more people like that. Oh, God. And don't die for your country. Kill the other SOB for his country. Yeah. Unbelievable. Padre, go and find me some sun, some break in the clouds. And the guy said, I'm praying. Bring in another Padre to the guy prays and the clouds break. Apparently he did it. Can you imagine him going, oh, my God. You need to go with an unwavering belief like that. It will be so. We will get the weather we want. Yeah, the guy who says, God is smiling. You got the weather you want it now. Okay, let's go. 855-839-12-10 grab a line jump in hit us with that word and tell us where to find it by the way uh Todd Blanche and the DOJ today talking about this phony marriage network is this a pretext to go after Elon Musk Omar people were paying a hundred thousand dollars to pretend to marriage someone I know who to call as a special guest on this. Roe. She's seen the proposal 41 times. Oh, come on. And that's exactly what it's all about. Oh, gosh. Oh, it's sickening. It's one of the movies of all time. Oh, God, it is bad. And I love Sandra Bullock. But 100 grand to pay a network, an actual service that's set up hundreds and hundreds of people for phony marriages. 855, 839, 12. It might be a side question. When you hear these two people are together and they're getting married where you go, this might be a phony. These two are not going to last. Johnny Depp and whatever the woman was. Oh my God. Oh my God. It can't be true. 855-839. 12-10. Nerds. Today's episode is sponsored by NerdWallet's Smart Money Podcast. Ever Google a money question and end up 12 tabs deep with 12 different answers?

It is Dom time. It just occurred to me. We started with Larry David. Henry's objection or in the David camp, you can't say, happy New Year, more than seven days, I think he said it at, maybe six or seven you couldn't say it, after New Year's day. That led to the Zenos Greek lore thrown in. Happy Hanukkah. and Gary of Newtown with bells and whistles in addition to the Happy New Year. Well, I have to tell you, at least for the end of this week, the next couple days, I thought we were missing this, given the defeat of Francesca Hong. happy Thanksgiving certainly would be in order for the next three days. Let's make a limit after that. You can't horn in and you've got to come up with your own. Find an obscure holiday out there. Rest the week we can celebrate Thanksgiving. Exactly. Back on Monday, I don't want to hear it. Yeah, that's it. Dr. Happened to you. Yeah. And again, I pointed out, and they pointed out on CNN today, on the 8% of Americans, I can't even believe the 8% are scolds about Thanksgiving that. They don't like it. 10% Harry Enton said think the earth is flat. So more Americans think the earth is flat than Castigate Thanksgiving. And 12% think the moon landing is a fake. So you're really, and it stuck with her. It was an easy crowd. And she's wifty. Every time she talked, wiftiness came out. The polling way off, maybe even more off than in Michigan. It can be explained. It's an open primary. And a lot of young people that were fired up for her may not have voted. But something is wrong with the polls when you have her ahead by 20. And she loses even though razor thin. And even though Milwaukee couldn't find a USB device. Oh, suddenly there's the votes. And the guy wins by 3,000 votes. Again, places like Milwaukee, very suspect. Maybe not as much as Philadelphia. This would have been a huge win. It is a swing state, really. Winning there would have really said something. So it doesn't mean it's over with this. In fact, it might intensify. Let's go to Bill in Bucks here on Talk Radio 1210. Hey, Bill.

Hey there, Dom. I just wanted to bring up one thing about the last year's election. You know, the municipal election? Yes. There were four judges running on the Democrat side and four judges running on a Republican side. All four judges of the Democrat Party won last November. And the number one vote debtor was Amy Fitzpatrick. And who is Amy? In relation to Brian? No relation. No relation. But I'm just trying to point out that the name Fitzpatrick has a winning phone chair. You never. Bill, you are amazing. I don't know how much of Fitzpatrick's should pay you, but you are the best campaign manager he can get. Is there any polling on Fitzpatrick Harvey? No. Well, there is, but it's too close to call. I mean, it's just, it's, um. Now, there's nothing for him. Well, I would say this. Bill Harve, the Gras Harvey, is not Mr. Personality. I mean, you talk about a dishrag guy. It's this guy. Yeah, and don't forget, he's from Falls. He was a supervisor in Falls Township, and that's where all the controversy is right now in the data center with Amazon. Ah, okay. And Josh Shapiro was there, you know, touting how great it is and this and that. And now the zoning hearing board I hear is trying to walk it back. So I don't know what's going to happen out there in full township. Look, I think it's bigger than just money and all that. There's a deep anxiety about AI, or at least it's starting to bubble. And it's right that we need a second look. And Stacey Garrity, next time she's on, Bill, I'm going to say point blank, call for the moratorium, call for a special session. You're not winning this way. I saw some of the proposals of what was going to happen there, and they have over 200 diesel generators going to run as backup power. Can you imagine the sound of 200 generators going off? Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, it's the sound. It's going to be curing cancer, so it's worth it. We'll see, but you'll never sleep at night. I'll tell you that. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So what's your side today, Bill? My side question is the operative word is comedian. One of the best comedians I remember ever seeing is he was on SNL, and he did a lot of skits on SNL. One of the favorite skits in the classic was set in a model real Greek diner in Chicago called the Olympic Cafe with John Belushi. And the menu was limited to cheeseburgers, chips, and Pepsi. Cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger, cheeseburger. John Volusian. You know what? That's a bite. This guy studies me too much. That's one of my favorite. arguably you know if you turn to the page who's funny that bit cheeseburger cheeseburger henry comes in says all right i i want this hoagie i don't want too much on it three minutes of describing it and he looks at him and goes cheeseburger cheeseburger

It's right behind the counter making a cheeseburger. You got a problem with that? And he said something in Greek. Yeah, exactly. Why would the ancient Greeks lead to being great owners of diners? What is it about Marathon and Vesuvia and all that stuff with the Greeks ending up? with diners i agree with one of a sound not yeah andy's diner classic i andy and his last name had 42 syllables in it you know so it's a requirement you see some sign on the door and it's like smith you got wait a minute i'm not eating at that diner Get me to a Greek diner. Let's go quickly. If fatted cheese isn't on the menu 22 times, is it a diner? Exactly. Yeah. When people want food, they want suvlocki at 2 a.m. That's exactly. All right. Joe Pocosie is with us next. METCHO and personal last night, we've talked a lot. He's the Linda Kern's first person of the year award winner, the state senator from Northeast Philadelphia. And we met in a speakeasy. He'll be coming up. And a lot young Republicans last night, a lot of talk about any number of issues. I first remember when Joe was running, affordability. One of his people knocking on doors said he was with Pocose, he couldn't afford to go on a date with his girlfriend. Affordability way back then. That's a couple of years ago. And Northeast Philadelphia's centerpiece. But Joe really is a guy with a real upcoming future here, a look At all these things, he's straight ahead. Phone lines are 855, 839. 12 10. Nerds!

Thank you, Ms. Hong, for that. Remember, Henry has set the over-under at Friday at the final gong. Don't do it on Monday. He might put you on the bench. Should we give Henry to power?

to put frequent callers on the bench because of violation. I'm thinking about it. Can you see that? I'll do it without even saying anything. I'm like, why isn't Joe and Columbus calling recently? Oh, that would cause a stare at all. Oh, man, that's it. Get rid of Mr. Machet rule would be in. Okay. Joe Bikosey, startingly, one, I believe he was 29 at the time it took off. I guess by the time he took office, he had to be 30 in northeast Philadelphia a couple of years ago. And last night I was with him at this young Republicans event at a speak easy. He seemed to be a guy. He wasn't playing the piano, but he was seated at the piano. I'm not even sure if that was a human figure or not now. I think the lighting was dim. But we were talking about Republicans, particularly reaching younger voters. with the Republican Party. Something Joe did. I believe he and his crew knocked on 70,000 doors. All right. Now, Pocosey versus Presler in a door knocking contest. Can't have that. Somebody will end up in the hospital. That would be the result here. Let's go to State Senator Joe Pocosey here on Talk Radio 12. Hey, Joe, welcome back. Thanks for joining us. Hey, Tom. Thanks for having me on. Well, thank you for the invite last night. A lot of good stuff, including I told people I would have never guessed a great guy there from the Working Families Party. What the heck? But we were just hanging out beforehand and, you know, write down the blog. And he says, hey, you know, you want to come by? You know, you're not a Democrat. You're allowed to join us. And then he stopped in. So it was really lovely. And we had a big crew. I mean, we just put that out last week. We didn't do much to promote it. And we had a good, good turnout. So that's really exciting. Absolutely. So, Joe, when you look at you won here in Northeast Philadelphia. And you won pretty, I wouldn't say easily, but considering everything in Philadelphia, you did win substantially. What's the formula? What inspired your crew and does it continue? Yeah, well, it absolutely continues. You know, we're constantly bringing new young people in who are interested in learning about the government. And now the added benefit that I'm a state senator, so I can teach them even more about how the government actually works. But young people, I mean, they're looking for change is a hard reality of it. You know, we look at some of our older cousins and we see it's been taught for them. And we want to see better economic trajectories. We've seen our neighborhoods get less safe. People want to actually do something. I don't want to just talk. And that's my vision for what the Republican Party needs to be, is a party of action. A party of people who say, we're not going to just talk about the problems. We're going to roll up our sleeves and try to solve them. And that's exactly right. That's what you're trying to do. I notice things like SEPTA and everything else. But, Joe, onto the affordability again. And you're a strategist, too, not just a guy who's a state center. That's how you won.

On the national levels, we head into the midterms using Northeast Philadelphia, which should be a possibility for Republicans. You're an example. What is it people are saying there? What affordability? What would they want done? Is there particular things? Republicans ought to be showing empathy in what way? Well, one thing we think about is improving wages and making sure people are getting paid, you know, good wage for the work they do. And we haven't seen wages go up the way we'd like them to because it's more important in my mind to get more money in people's pockets. You know, there's only so much the government can do to bring prices down. But we need to help people's wages go up. I think that's really important. Even so in the work I've done in the State Senate, investments in job training programs, job retraining programs, career technical education in our schools, preparing kids that graduated from father judge. and make $90,000 a year welding nuclear submarines in our Navy art. That's what I see is affordability. That's what I see is industrial and economic progress for our city. So absolutely, letting them see there's another path there rather than just going to college and maybe not really your heart in it and not getting a job that's going to pay off those student loans. Joe in Harrisburg. What have you found because, you know, we're not in Harrisburg every day. What is it that drives Harrisburg? Is it Josh Shapiro? Is it as I hear the guy that won't come on this show, Joe? You probably know him. Get him on here in studio. Matt Bradford. I wouldn't say there's one individual kind of person driving the train. I mean, Josh, he goes his budget address, but he's not very hands-on legislative process, as far as I can tell. You know, we've got a Republican Senate and Democratic House, and they have to come together at the end of the day and find compromises. I mean, this budget we just passed, I think he's very much a strong compromise budget that really moved the needle forward and a lot of critical issues like education. But... At the end of the day, you know, the Republican Senate, the Democratic House, and we both put our agendas forward, and we figure out what we can agree on. Joe, to that point, if the worst happened, they control the House now, and Josh Shapiro looks pretty good in the governor's race. The Senate, I try to tell people these local, you know, the marquee is the midterms. But the state Senate in Pennsylvania, if lost, what would Democrats do with the trifecta then? Well, there's no guarantee of what's going to happen, and I don't think this scenario you're talking about will happen. However, here's what worries me. The budget that the governor proposed was several billion dollars more than the budget we ultimately passed. The budget we passed, we use one-time funds, lapse funds to fill the gap. We're still running a $4 billion deficit. At a certain point, if they keep rising spending and keep going, someone's going to have to pay for it. And we talk about affordability. I think the most important thing is making sure that working families can keep their money that they work for that they earned in their pockets and that they don't have to send more of their own money to Harrisburg. So that's my biggest fear is that runaway spending leads to some sort of tax increase that's going to hurt families in northeast Philadelphia and all across the Commonwealth.

Joe, one of the things too most concerned about is the media too. They don't seem to go after you. You're a tough target to go after the Inquir and others. You talked to me last night and we're talking about some of the media counterbalance like Talk Radio 1210, our buddy, Guy Sharaki, and others. Your thoughts on this. How do we counter? I think it's more of what the media leaves out most of the time that people don't know about. as opposed to even the all-out attacks. I think that's right. I think there's so many things that are going on. And we have the second degree murder issue. Most people don't know about that. What's going on on that fight? You know, you're right. It's a lot of sins of omission, you know, rather than commission. Important details, important facts that just don't get, you know, on the nightlies. They don't get any inquired. And it's very important for us to make sure we can get these facts out there so that people in Philadelphia can actually make a choice and see all the facts. rather than just hearing echoes of echoes of echoes of talking points. Well, we have, and Joe, and I'm in the camp that thinks Mikie Sherrill Parker. I'm not sure about you. If you don't want to comment, that's okay. But I think there's going to be a challenge from the left. Maybe not Krasner, because it's up in here if he can or not, I'd have to leave office. But one of these DSA types, because of what's going on. Republicans have not even, I don't hear a whiff of anything, of anybody they're even considering to be mayor. And again, the mayor's race is an opportunity. to have someone articulate these things so that when we get statewide elections, every vote in Philadelphia and in races like yours where it's doable or more doable, they're important. What's your sense of who would be a good candidate of anybody yet? I haven't heard any names toss around. I mean, Dom, if you're interested, let me know. But, you know, I think it's important that we're not leaving spaces just blank, right? That there is an actual choice, that we put something for it. I think it's very important. You have to find somebody who actually is willing to do it. And that's really, it takes a lot of courage to run for public office. I've done it. It's not easy. You're really putting yourself out there is all consuming. I mean, you have to anticipate working, you know, no less than 90 hours a week, seven days a week, if you actually want to run a successful campaign. So it's not a small thing to ask you somebody.

Joe, how did you do that at that age? What were you doing before that? And how did you center in on the – it's one of the biggest victories that isn't talked about. I don't even know if you were eligible to serve the day that you won, right? It had to take place your birthday afterward, 70,000 doors. And the people that you had, the younger people you had with you, talking about affordability, talking to people in northeast Philadelphia, it is showing how doable this is. over a period of time. Well, important thing is actually being there with the people, right? Showing up the people's doors, talking to them, but more importantly, listening to them. You mentioned, I was 29 when I was sworn in. You don't have to be 25 to be a state senator. And I think there is an aspect that my campaign was very young, right? The median age of my campaign was probably 18 or 19. I mean, people who are motivated and passionate. Because people can tell if you really care, if you really believe in what you're talking about, they'll really hear you out. And I think people in the city are looking for something different. I mean, my whole life, we could fed the same stories, and we haven't seen the results. And it's my rigorous focus to make sure we're actually getting results. We've got a lot in this budget, but there's still a lot more work to do. Absolutely. And you'd be knocking on doors this afternoon, I think you told me. Yeah, that's right. I mean, I love knocking on doors. I love it. I love it. And as a senator, it's so important for me to be there with people I represent, to be on their stoop, to hear their stories. And those are the stories they take with me. I mean, a lot of stuff folks here in Northeast Philadelphia tell me get related directly to my colleagues in the Senate. It's really important for me as a senator is humanized the decisions we're making. And we're not just talking about dollars and cents and spreadsheets, but we're talking about people, people's lives. We're talking about neighborhoods. to me using you'll I help. And Joe, are they pretty much, I've got a question about affordability. What is it? Somebody who couldn't come on had a question about what, Henry, Andrew from Philadelphia? Go ahead, Kirk. Yeah, so he was, so Andrew in Philadelphia one had some concern about affordability and one of them, how about reducing school taxes and state taxes? I was the main concern about that. Okay. And Joe, again, a lot of these taxes are a good number of them are Philadelphia taxes like the wage tax. Is there anything at your level that can be done with the wage tax? Not directly. You know, there was enabled the Sterling Act in the 1930s. However, when you look at these tax structures in Philadelphia, we talk about affordability. One, we want to do everything can to let people keep more of their money. But two, we also think about job creation, right? The best thing to do is help people get higher paying jobs, right, and make a bigger salary. And it's very hard sometimes to get businesses to want to be based here. when there's this massive, massive tax burden. There's other things we can do, particularly in terms of infrastructure and making Philadelphia a more attractive climate. But essentially, the more effective and easy it is to have key money in people's pockets, the better it is to open businesses here. That creates a lot of jobs, high-paying jobs. They're going to help more people who are in a lot of times in a very difficult position right now. Absolutely. Joe, where do we find you? Where are we going to see Senator Joe Pocosie?

Sure, yeah. I mean, I'm on every social media platform. My name is Joe P-I-C-O-Z-I. So you can just look me up. If you want to chat with me, shoot me a DM. Chance or I'll get back to you within the day. But, you know, we really do need change in Philly. And the way I vision, big tent, anybody who's interested in making a difference, come on in. I'm happy to talk to you. We need a lot of people to do a lot of big things here in the city. Absolutely. Joe, a pleasure to be continued. Thanks for joining today. Thank you, Don. All right, Joe Pocosy here on Talk Radio 1210. So this Nicholas O'Rourke guy, Henry, it was quite a spectacle. So I do have his cell now. And he said, no, no, no, he's not a communist, you know, with the Working Families Party. Yes. That's immediate what I think of this was quite a interesting guy that he shows up at the young Republicans thing. All right. He's a minister on top of it. All right. So I expect to hear him someday. But Cozy is rising star, big time. Linda Kearns stargazing with that exactly. And I think he has a sense of what people that can be reached in Philadelphia really care about. Doing it with the Republican leadership, Vince and the boys. Alante is tomorrow, right? I'm not sure I saw on Twitter. He might be working. I'm not sure. I'll ask him. Yeah. We haven't heard from Alante. They knew about Alante. They like him. They've spoken with him. And they see the raw energy. And they do say it's must watch TV what he does with City Council each week. All right. His phone lines are 8558, 8, 9, 12, 10. Coming up, we have a progressive woman gone wild. The visuals are even more amazing. of this gender-based song. The side question today comes off the WMBA debating what are they going to say officially a woman is. By that I mean, to play in the league, the first word is woman, who qualifies? So give us a word and tell us who fits that, who personifies that. You heard Henry Swave. I'm sticking with Marilyn Monroe, Joe had Adonis. is still saying, hey, he's no Adonis, A55, he's no Einstein. Think along those lines. How is it that Einstein? I think we'll be there forever. Why not? He's no Elon Musk. There's no brilliant person today. Who's the brilliant person of today? Then we'd go, wow. Is it the hair with Einstein? That helps. Is it the mystique? Yeah, I think it is. Is it just? time coming together, a certain, you know what it's like, it's like Babe Ruth. There was a mystique. Maybe the mystique wouldn't be there today. You see him with a blackboard. He's writing, could be Chinese launch, you know, he's writing all kinds of things. Einstein. Get him in here. 855, 839, 1210. Nerds!

Dom Giardano presents Progressive women Your words are garbage and you're a bad person at this point. Gone wild. All right, today's special present. By the way, Fox really did this well, the cost of the DSA spending proposals, and it takes up the whole screen. I think it's over $200 trillion. You know, just a giant board with it out there. How do you spend that much? Oh. Well, you haven't seen, bro, when we go shopping. You know, Henry, I'm not sure. You know, your girlfriend, whatever, or Kirk, your wife. But it's not one big thing. It's just a constant car. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. People don't even know. They deserve a card constantly. You are not wrong. The drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, day and night. Mm-hmm. All right, so we say spending. Is it a female on that page that we turn to with today's side questions? I'm sorry. You don't want to be sent. There you go. Maryland by row. He's bailed out of that one, too. Okay. Smart. 200 trillion by 2036 is what they would spend. I think it's more than that. I remember George Allen coaching the Washington Redskins. We gave him an unlimited budget. The owner said, and he outspent that. That's exactly what they would do. You know, spending doesn't matter. They don't think the money matters. Just keep spending it. Anyhow, this is YouTube.com slash 1210. This is the non-binary singer-songwriter Karuk, performing their song, they, them.

A little flashing going on there. You don't want to forget. You'll never, if you see the tape, if you're watching on YouTube, oh, my God. Thank God you. I hope you had a late lunch. I'll have to do that after my God. All right, that's today's entrant around this. Unbelievable. All right. Coming up, Mike Rogers was on with Sean Hannity last night. He's the Republican running for the Senate and the all-important Michigan race. But play you, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democrat, who won. talking about football, toxic masculinity. And then I'll tell you he's thrown down the gauntlet to Rogers of something I think that would be as spectacular. I know I would watch. And they could do it at a training camp. We have that. We have Dom's Money Melody and the side question today. Give us a word like male, female, something like that. Swave was Henry. Broaded it out and then tell us who represents that. Obviously, the WNBA is going to have, I believe they're doing it this week, a difficult time figuring out who it is that represents being a woman. Is it chromosonal, which is science? Are they trihormonal? Do they try to escape somehow or another from doing it? Is there any escape? All that in a big 2 o'clock hour. Tom Giudano, weekdays, noon till 3, from Talk Radio 1210, WPHD. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. All right, it is Dom time. This guy is, in my view, the enemy of America. I've said that, but I'm intrigued by his style, and I wish Republicans, well, Trump has done this, I wish Republicans would imitate it a little bit. So we know that Francesca Hong, the woman who lost last night, hint, Maybe a little bit of doubt there. In Wisconsin, was labeled with the Thanksgiving thing, could not escape. I mean, it is inescapable. Abdul El-Sayed put out a long list of YouTube's in which he attacked July 4th. Didn't like the fireworks even. I don't know if that's going to stick quite as much, but he also attacked football. So Mike Rogers, the Republican, was on with Sean Hannity last night. going after him on this, and DJ just sent me this, Henry. So Al-Sahid says, okay, you won't do the five debates, you punk, words that have affected, Mike Rogers. Let's play a game of tackle football, no pads. Now, part of me thinks, well, this is, again, you know, masculinity, but does it show this guy has no sense of football either? You know what I mean? He just can't even fake it. In other words, how are they two of them playing tackle football? Like one-on-one, they run through some drill. Yeah, just like an Oklahoma drill without. Yeah, if he said an Oklahoma drill, maybe people, oh, this guy might know football. Is this going to expose? The ball one, you know, you get it the next one. Exactly. Basketball, you can do one-on-one. I don't know about football as easily. My challenge stands to Josh Shapiro whenever he wants, court of his choice, his referee.

Henry is my coach. That way I can blame him. There you go. 101 against Josh Shapiro. I'll deflect to the GM or something. Yeah, exactly. I can imagine the rules and what we would draw up and how that would work. I probably want to play indoor since he's the jump shot king of basketball. But this Abdul El-Sayed guy is going to be more difficult than this wifty Francesca Hong. Here is Hasan Piker. This is cut 23, blaming the national media for why Ms. Hong lost last night. Here is Mr. Hasan Piker. These other candidates are a lock. It's plus seven national electorate. For the Democrats, it's going to be easy, right? For everybody else, except for Francesco. Okay. What about Michigan? Abdul al-Sea was winning against Mike Rogers by higher margins than Haley Stevens. Did that stop the fucking national media from saying Haley Stevens was the more electable candidate? Did anyone make a big fuss about how not a single poll showed that reality? No, it didn't because these guys are fucking lying to you. Okay? Wake up. Corporate media is fucking lying to you. That's it. There is not a single fucking... All right. We had enough of the F-bomb there from Hasan Piker. But now it's corporate media. That's his big thing to tap into. I don't know. I'm tired of just every other word. Maybe that's the appeal. So I won't play this one. But they're on him about how do you live in a $2.7 million mansion in West Hollywood? How isn't this... If you had to take one thing other than the fairy tale land of these socialists, how do they continuously support Democrats, for example, and we hear about income inequality, be it Elizabeth Warren worth tens of millions of dollars, Bernie Sanders with three houses, or Hasan Piker with a $200,000 car and a $2.7 million mansion. I don't begrudge any of that. That's all fine. How in the world do these people stay on top while living that type of life, and yet that is their big attack point, income inequality? When you strip a lot of this away, it always comes back to that. Somebody else has something, and you don't. Let's take it from them. But what about these people that are in the leadership? That is how you know you're into a cult. You're into people who just would ignore anything to seet and to believe they're going to be happy by taking away something from somebody else rather than waking up and thinking, how do I get what I want in life? That's pretty simple. It's one of the biggest delusions imaginable. But this guy, Hasan Piker, is just being, if he's not a disqualifier, there's a big battle going on, is this guy like Nick Fuentes? Nick Fuentes, Republicans are not running. I know Trump had dinner at one point with Nick Fuentes, but Republicans are not out there campaigning with Nick Fuentes. Yet, they are out there. They can't get enough dates with Hasan Piker.

It is stunning. It is a large part of the problem. So too soon to tell you how I think last night now moves the needle. Does this emboldened Democrats to push back harder? Are they talking today and saying, hey, this DSA stuff, we saw the end of it last night. Some of them might. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a bit more clever. What she's doing is saying, yeah, I'm DSA. But that's DSA New York chapter, not the nationals. And somehow and other, they're dodging Henry. I know he's dogged. We're trying to get one of the more. Efforts this morning again. Yeah. I would just, that's the first question I would ask. And we're not going to, the first question is the number. How much do you want to tax us? You can give us how much you make, you can give us whatever you want. I'm going to know the percentage. But after that. What do you say to the leadership, be they progressive or not? And Hasan Piker is much better than bring it up Nancy Pelosi or the Clintons or anything else. They can be dismissed. Their tools are part of the capitalist system. Hasan Piker, though, is the guy. How is he worth $25 million? And it's $25 million that is on paper, but it's right there. It's the mansion in West Howie would have all placed. $200,000 car. How in the world does this guy have standing, drug crowds, et cetera? This is one of the biggest examples of just the juice. We're juiced up on gone after. We started with billionaires. Now it's down the millionaires. And we really all know for the money, you've got to come after the middle class, lower middle class. Everybody's got to be involved in us. How big of a threat after last night? There's still a huge threat. The guy who is the biggest threat is this Abdul El-Sayed guy because I like this guy's going to throw punches. I wish Republicans would take heed with this. I don't like Rogers. I mean, I want him to win. But he goes on Sean Hannity and wines. And this guy's saying, say my name in the streets, you know, it's not Omar. It's maybe Omar too. It's Marlowe. Marl. And when Marlowe, when they don't care about his name anymore, oh, it's a big moment. My name is my name. They never show how Marlowe ends up that I remember, though. He bumped into that guy on the street. Yeah, I know that, but I mean, at the end, what's Marlowe doing? I'd imagine he went back to the streets. Yes, they should have said that. Yeah, he's got to go back to the streets. He's not interested in just the money. He wants to be his name in the streets. He got everything Stringer Bell wanted. Yes. But he didn't want that. Exactly. And I understand that completely. Some music, it's a moment. 855, 839, 12, 10. Let's go to Robert in Ben Salem on Talk Radio 12th. Hey, Robert. Hey, Dom Henry, it's good to talk to you guys. Dom, I'm glad that you picked up now because I was afraid you were going to pick up while I was being pulled over in Ben Salem for holding my cell phone. Uh-oh. Well, he said, you've got to keep it in the holster. I was like, I understand, but I'm on a driver's app. He says, I don't, it doesn't matter. You got to keep it in the holster. And I said, but officer, I'm on hold with Dom Giordano. And then he pulled out his taser and told me to step out of the car.

Well, I'm pretty good graces with Ben Salem until I went after ratting on the rat line with Benny. Now I don't know whether the mayor and all. Oh, God. He just gave me a warning, so it's all good. Wait a minute. The guy didn't know he shouldn't be a cop in Ben Salem. He doesn't know about the show. Come on, Mayor. Oh, no, it's all good. He probably does know. But I'm just, I'm kind of laughing at what happened to Ms. Tong last night because, like, with us Republicans, they just bring in boxes of ballots in the middle of the night. But with this thing, all they had to do was find a couple of USB sticks. I'm sorry she lost because I think that she would have been easier to beat, but I suspect that there was something up with the Democrats in Madison last night, Dom. But my side question is. I am going to go with Fox. Now, if you remember, Dom, when we were young, we called Good Looking Girls Foxes. You had songs like Foxy Lady and stuff like that, but I think this is where... Wait, we're better, Robert, where you go? Henry looks like he's bailing out on again. He's putting up a big sign. This sounds like sexism coming up. I'm not sure. I'm willing to see it through him. He respects you, Robert, so he knows you'll turn off on the off ramp here, but go ahead. Well, no, well, see, the thing is, when I was younger, you know, we called, wow, she's a fox. And then it occurred to me, well, fox is what they call the male of the species. They call female evictions. Why don't they call women viction? And then I looked it up and found out that eviction was a negative thing, like you were argumentative or conniving or something like that. But I think that's where the whole gender dysphoria thing started, Dom, because people didn't know the difference between a fox and a viction. But I'll stay with fox. And you guys have a great day. I appreciate the time, Doc. All right. Thank you. But I lost it. Who's the Fox? Who's Fox? Fox is to gender dysphoria. That's how I talk about. Okay. All right. Okay. All right. Interesting answer. Okay. Just watching on Fox FNC. And Adam Schiff is on. If you can name a pencil neck and think of his picture coming up, somebody better, you got to tell me. You got to tell me on Twitter. Schiff's neck, just looking at it. It is a pencil neck. It is just, yeah. It's like a lollipop. Yeah, it is amazing. Yeah, that's a real distinguisher. All right, 855, 839, 12, 10, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, all we need you to do is pushbound 1210. You give us the word, you tell us the situation or person that fits that, and we'll get a winner today on that. By the way, Bill Devlin from Cuba tomorrow. His annual youth festival there, yeah, Pastor Bill Devlin in Cuba will join us. And I don't think he has to be undercover. I mean, I think I was on a way back when overnight, he was whispering on a satellite phone from downtown Ivana. This guy, how in the, you have to believe that God is walking with Bill Devlin. He's dealing with Hamas. They know him. Oh, yeah, Pastor, come on in and Gaza sit down here. He's in Nigeria, which I think is even worse in the outcountry there. And he's Cuba. Oh, come on. No challenge there. All right. He says Philadelphia is worse, but that's impossible. Come on.

855833 91210. What does Henry have cooked up today for? It's Dobbs Money Melody. We are playing today for two tickets to the Philadelphia Eagles training camp public practice presented by Blue Cross. Tuesday, August 25th, 6 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field. This event will benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation for tickets and more information visit. Philadelphia Eagles. dot com slash public practice this is a big deal told off your leads a country in this it's a great night out so henry it's all yours yeah dom so side question today we're asking for uh words or you know i guess words that you associate or equate with a person or a thing And I'd say if you bring up the band Led Zeppelin, one of the superlatives you'd use to describe that band would be groundbreaking. A groundbreaking band, you know, for their blues riffs, the high energy they put into the rock music, really redefined the genre. So I'm going to play you a cover of Immigrant Song today, and it's going to be covered by a band who also was groundbreaking in their own field in the grunge field. I'm not going to give too much away about this grunge band, but I want to know the name of this band. playing immigrant song here live from their dorm room at Evergreen State College back in October of 1988. All right, let's take a listen to this groundbreaking grunge band performing at Evergreen State College in Washington State. Who is it? All right, hit us with that. You're off to see the Eagles 855, 839, 12, 10. When you mention rock band, I turn to the page, I see the Stones. That would be the definition of a rock band, not the Beatles for the record. There we go. All righty, 855-839, 1210. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. It's the Dom money melody. Where has all my money gone? Show me to my. All right, every day around 2.13 or so, Henry cooks up something tapping into what we're talking about, and you get a big prize. Pretty simple. Let's hear today's clue. Want this band from Evergreen State College in Washington State? I think we've ever done a grunge answer here. Interesting. I usually go the other way. I usually play a cover of a grunge. Oh, exactly. Let's go to Gary in Newtown. Hey, Gary, what's your answer today? I believe that's going to be Kirk Cobain and his Nirvana crew. Wow, you would go for that. Even I know that one. I thought you might not. Oh, yeah. Okay. That is definitely a great one, Henry. That is really a great moniker of grunge. Thank you. Thank you, Gary. I appreciate that. All right, Gary, I'll put you on hold. We will get all your information.

I'm still working on all this AI stuff, and I'm seeing Fox going down again. Now, New Orleans is saying they're going to use AI to answer low priority 911 calls. Oh, wait a minute. The genius of AI, they ought to be able to figure out the high priority ones. You know, the guy's coming at me with a knife. I need help over here. We won't go to AI on that. Well, AI is, can you imagine getting AI pretending to be a human being? That's probably what it will be. And you have to go along with this. I think Ava is the name often used. Hi, how can I help you? And your gunfire all over the place. How do you think you can help me? My goodness, 911 calls now. All right. I'll be honest, though. The night of Eddie Pollock when he was killed, AI couldn't have been worse than those 911 callers. AI wouldn't have said, where's Ron Avenue? And I don't believe those people ever got fired for them. You can't answer where it was asking when they were attacking him with bats. Are those aluminum or are they wooden bats? Can you just imagine? So, yeah, I'm not impressed with 911 operators in Philadelphia by and large. So they said you're using AI to answer low priority in 911 calls. Right. How do they know before the phone call what's a low priority? Like, yeah. Or is they're going to explain the situation? Let me transfer your call real quick. Yeah, exactly. To the AI buy. When every second is counting here to get help one way or the other. Just sliding into this AI stuff are the people in the suburbs here in this area. Apparently, some of the complaints and some of the stuff that they've engaged in in town halls around AI have driven others to put in reforms in other states across the country. State security, come on. The pause is nice and all that. You want to draw Josh Shapiro out. Moratorium. Don't be afraid he's going to start screaming. China will beat us and we won't get a cure for cancer. Let's have that debate. You've got to dramatize this. Moratorium is needed. The senator we had on today, et cetera. This poll out shows that Democrats are leading the charge pushing back against AI in Pennsylvania. But. Independents are pretty close, and so are Republicans. I think it's 69% of Democrats against it's gone too far, 54% of Republicans. That's pretty bipartisan. Name another issue where it's at close. And independence right there, too. The issue is, is it just cost, the senator we had on Coleman talked about, what was it, 200 diesel or no, bill of bucks, 200 diesel engines or something operated? What information? Where are they getting it from? Where are they collating it from? All right. It's something to say, let's take a second look at this. Trump administration not on board. They think this is fearmongering. Remember the people we plagued you speaking to college graduates telling them, and we're living in the great day of AI, and they went nuts ready to storm the stage. Because they know.

They know the downside here or the unknown is so great. Why are we just rolling the dice with this? Well, you heard the guy, Henry, did you pull any of that, the guy that called yesterday and said, ignorant? Hold on. Yeah, William. Yeah, yeah. If we get in a second, we had a guy call in who admitted he was in this field and all the fear mongering that's gone out there. I didn't hear him shuffling papers, the stuff that he said. But he did say, well, that's just ignorance. People are ignorance on this. Then he tried to define ignorant as just lacking knowledge. No, no, no. No, buddy. We know exactly what you mean when you say ignorance. We mean you're the betters. We don't understand the wonders of AI. Our minds can't keep up with this. Really? And the downsides? Well, there are no downsides to this. Why are these people reacting to it? You know what? It's the same thing over in Lower Marion. The parents reacting to the school district there saying, we're going to keep up with the technology. Your kids are going to be on screens, even in kindergarten. And these parents, well-educated, well-heeled, they're pushing back. It's a very similar thing. People are saying, this has gone too far. I don't trust this as a parent intuitively. I think something's wrong here with a whole generation involved in this stuff. And I agree with that. And I think there would be a lane for schools that are saying we're not doing that at a very young level. We're just not going to do that. It's not worth it. They'll be able to know technology. Kids are going to know technology. They don't have to be coding in pre-K. Oh, the Chinese, again, are going to be ahead of us. Is that really why they're, quote, ahead? Let's go back to Gary in Newtown. All right, Gary, on the side question. All right, Gary, what do you have on the side today? Hey, Dom. On the side, when I look up the word moronic in the dictionary, I think of all the people that live and vote in the fourth congressional district of Atlanta because they voted in the guy that said, We can't put all those troops on the island of Guam that's going to tip over. And he's been there for ten terms. Ten terms, not one, not two. Ten. Yeah, I think he's in Texas, if I'm right, our buddy. Yeah, but he also said he attacked helium and he attacked the can't say midgets. The midgets thing. You're right. It's the fourth congressional district in Georgia. It's in Georgia. Yeah, Hank Johnson. Yeah. And he's a beyond moronic. But you're right. People that vote for this moron. That's the real morons. You're 100% right. Thank you, Gary. All right. Here's William from yesterday. If you missed it. Thanks for pulling that. He identified that he was in the field of doing all this developing and AI. And he seemed to be appalled. at the objections. Chester County seems to be on fire. Every night I see another thing. They're screaming. This is almost like the school board two-minute thing during the COVID. It's very reminiscent of this. It is on fire. Laura Marion's on fire over the screens. Listen to this guy, William, who called yesterday. All right, let's go to William in Bucks County. Williams on Talk Radio 12. Hey, William.

All right, Dom, thanks for taking my call, sir. You're welcome. Okay, so last evening, Stacey Garrity had a live Town Square organization. I actually got a call on my cell phone. Unfortunately, I was on the phone. I own a business. I got on in time to listen to her, but not ask a question. And what I would recommend to her, and I'm an independent, but vote very conservatively, is that she needs to, instead of... not giving the icy chip companies, data centers, other things, their credit where credits do, she needs to beat Josh Shapiro at his own game. Okay, she needs to come out and say there are hundreds of business owners like myself for 34 years that have been building equipment for data centers and icy chip factories and power plants, okay? There's hundreds of people in Pennsylvania companies that will employ thousands of people. Okay, not just the one time when they're being constructed, but through decades later to maintain these facilities. But what she needs to do to beat Josh Shapiro, and I would vote for her right away, even if she didn't have a chance, anything against Josh Shapiro. But the bottom line is she needs to beat him at his own game. not play the negative, negative, negative selling. That doesn't work. He needs to come out and beat him. I can't disagree. I'm ready to go to the reason I'm letting it go on that long. There's like a listen, buddy, moment of truth coming here. Otherwise, I would have stopped it, but this maniac gone off on this, I wanted people, let it breathe, let people hear it. Here's a little more. With you more, William, and look, you're in that field. I understand and you prepare for it and all that. But by and large, people, what they're expressing is, it's not just the potential environmental to them or the cost or all that stuff, is the anxiety over AI, and they're correct to be anxious about it. Dom, like I said, I've been in the field for a long time. I've actually addressed municipalities about the water. That's one of the things we treat. And we put the water back in the Delaware River cleaner than when it came out. Very doubt, cool. So I've had to address those things. And about AI, okay? It's like insurance companies. They sell on fear. And that's what they're playing right now, that your electrical bill will go through the roof. You'll be paying for everything. But in the long run, okay, what will happen is their electric bills will come down. And they will benefit from a medical situation where they can run a simulation in six months or now I can run it in six weeks for the new drug. That's really what people who are building these plants need to come out and say, and they're doing a poor job in publicity. The companies, the billion-dollar, multi-billion-dollar companies that are building these plants are not doing a very good job on the publicity side of it. It's all negative, negative. They may not be. You're not addressing what I said. There are deep concerns and worries about AI.

And I happen to think people are correct about it. And that's why they're reacting this way. I understand that. But everybody thinks the Terminator is coming tomorrow. It's science fiction, okay? All you have to do is look and see what the Chinese are trying to do and they're failing at it. Notice that AI will be tomorrow, we'll know everything about you and the Big Brother situation. It's scare tactics. Just like how insurance is sold, okay? They're really playing on the fears of the ignorant people. Honestly, last night. Stacey Garrity insulted anybody of intelligence that really knows about the data centers. Well, wait a minute. So we're saying you were ignorant now. No, I'm saying it's playing, not Pete, I'm saying it's playing on the, ignorant is not a bad thing. It just means you don't know. All right, there we go. There we go. Thank you. Yeah, you're not, that's not a bad word. You ignorant. Try walking in Philadelphia, William, and saying you're ignorant. Let's see. Tell Joe Frazier, may you rest in peace that, see what would happen. All right. Give me a reaction to that, too. That was a seminar caller, I'm not sure, or a guy that maybe is selling something. That water's gone back into the Delaware better than it went in. That and all this stuff and what they're doing in China. My God, even O'Reilly when we have more. There's a real difference here. 855 839, 1210. Hit us on the side question too. Give us the word and give us the illustration, this person or situation around this. 855, 839, 1210. Wait a minute. They're using an abbreviation. Southern Poverty Law Center. SPLC. Yeah, the former CEO, I think that's what it is, has been arrested. F O. F O, yeah, right. But the, it's the Southern Poverty Law Center is the key thing here. Arrested on fraud charges. Wow. Remember this whole thing of giving money allegedly to. neo-Nazis Ku Klux Klan, so they would cause trouble. And the argument was they're doing that in order to raise more money themselves. And they said they were doing that to try to steal the waters, just arrest it on fraud charges. Now think of that organization, Southern Poverty Law Center. Think of how esteemed they are in progressive circles. And think of the damage and the reach that they've had attacking people.

How many people have been put on their hate list over the years? 855-839, 1210. The birds are back, and another championship run starts. Tom Giordano on Talk Radio 1210, WPHPHT. All right, coming to you on the side question. Here is the Attorney General talking about these charges, fraud charges, and the former CFO of the Southern Poverty Law Center. But she's insignificant. The Southern Poverty Law Center is the engine of just unbelievable money and the engine of targeting some of the people they put on their hate list. are beyond belief innocuous. They've been the driving force, though. They're determining hate out there. And the argument is they were funneling money to haters. Here's the attorney general. Sealed a case against the former chief financial officer of the Southern Poverty Law Center. Can you please speak a little bit about what you've learned as part of that investigation and if we should expect more charges? So I'm not, so yes, today, my understanding is today there was an arrest made and there is a new indictment that includes the former CFO of SPLC. I don't have any comments about whether, we've said from the beginning, everybody, not just me, but anybody who's talked about this case, like virtually every criminal case, the fact that an indictment is returned doesn't end the investigation. It's just part of the investigation in most cases, which is certainly true in this case. I think as alleged in the indictment, this individual participated in the scheme, as alleged, I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts and completely fictitious companies' names. and make payments to individuals for reasons that were not accurate as described. But I don't have, I think the indictment was unsealed this morning. I don't have, or I believe it was unsealed this morning. I think the arrest was this morning. I don't have anything to say beyond that, except to say that this is exactly what we said would happen in a case like this, which is that our investigators and the U.S. attorneys and the agents work in the case will can keep on working it even after the initial indictment. All right. Let's go to the Earl of Tacconi on the Dom show. Hey, Earl. Go right ahead. Okay, Dom. One thing you asked about was why these young people are signing up with socialism. And I think a lot of it is they want to sign up with it, where you have someone like Hasan Piker who's worth millions of dollars. He's kind of like a motivational speaker where it's like, look what I did with socialism. You can too. And they think that they're going to all become millionaires if they go and they sign up with him. I don't know. Oranette. That's maybe that's a good theory.

I just think they ignore it. So you think socialism is the way to a pad in West Hollywood and a $200,000 car. That's what they're thinking. Well, that's what they've been taught in school. That socialism is the superior financial system. Yeah, they've been taught that. But, man, if they have been taught, everybody's going to be doing that. Okay. I just think it's, to use the word of William, ignorance again. Well, ignorance is bliss. Yeah. And it also may be a way to financial stability. They don't realize these people were wealthy to begin with. You know, they didn't start out well. Right. Or their parents were. They're their nepo. Yeah. It's mostly that type of. I don't think he is. I'm not sure. But he makes a lot of money. What's your side, Earl? Well, I didn't know if you wanted to tell my flying roofer story or not. A little bit, a lot of people I want to get in before the end. So let's go with the side today. The side question, my side answer is going to be Drama Queen. And the photo that would be in the dictionary next to that picture would be the Brown James.

Because when you think about it, I have a song for it. They call him flopper, flopper. He falls and he's shaking. We know that he's faking. What else could it be? And we know flopper. He drops and he shakes like he's dying. We know that he's lying. He's our drama queen. All right. Thank you, Earl. Thanks. I don't know about it. I'm too sensitive since he's coming to town, and I want the Sixers to succeed. He is a flopper. I think there's some work. I reject any LeBron slander. Right for now. LeBron James fans. As we see that, yeah. I like that he's evading the full wage tax in Philadelphia. New York doesn't have, I mean, they got Zohran Mamdani. By the way, a story, and this is Washington Examiner poll, indicates that the fair, and I'm going to tell you the truth on these things. Zohran Mamdani, in a new poll, went from a 55% favorability to today's poll, 58% favorable opinion of Zohran Mamdani. Washington Examiner, conservative publication. I still think you run against him nationally. I still think you run against the Abdul El-Sayed guy. You run against communism. The midterm in Dallas, I think you're going to see Republicans doing this. All they have to do is find something to be saying more about on affordability. If I were doing passive aggressive, I might go with the fever coach today, though, the WMBA saying, I'm all about kindness and on. She goes back to kindness, then she says, go to hell and walks off. That is a nice passive aggressive. And the passive aggressive, if anybody has one, does one come to mind for you, Henry? All-time passive-aggressive. It's a great skill. You can feel it. It's annoying as hell. I mean, you know, the language is there. And then in the end, we know where they're going. Yeah, I don't know if I have one off the top of the head. It's no one pops for me yet. But the fever coach, to go to hell, yeah. They're under stress. Let's go to Ed in New York with a Karen example. Hey, Ed, good afternoon. Oh, you said it. Oh, I know. I'm a long-time listener, and happy Thanksgiving. Well, thank you, Ed. Can you hear me? Oh, shit. Oh, sorry. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry, sorry. Can you hear me? Yeah, go right ahead, Ed. Okay, sorry. Sorry, it's all over. Happy Thanksgiving. Well, thank you. And lots of football. Right. So I was goaded into calling because of your murderer's role of David, Joe, and Robert. So they got me. You ever go home and maybe you left your car parked in the street? Maybe you bought a boat home. You left in the driveway. Or you put up some. decorations, maybe you mold your lawn and edged it and somebody in the neighborhood, doesn't really like it. And you know who that person is.

That's a camera. Thank you, Ed. All right, you gave some illustrations there. The phone line was a little funky, but yeah. Also, he referred to by goading by people. He was referring to to people in the chat on YouTube. The call in. That guy's a little bit dangerous. My hand is on every button. Hell of a first time call. Exactly right. Yeah, I mean, it was a little bit like William yesterday. Listen, buddy. I was right. All right. It is the lightning round. And Joe of Xton is going to tell us the illustration of a hustler. All right. So hit us with that. Let's get a winner on this. Don't forget tomorrow. Pastor of Bill Devlin, how does he do it in Cuba for a youth festival? We'll be on with us. And I don't even know the situation in Cuba right now, how bad it is. We'll see. And on all the usual stuff, too. But final round, 855, 839, 1210. Tom, Giordano, on Talk Radio 1210, WPHT. The time has come for the final test. We usually call us the lightning round. That is exactly right. Hit us an 855839, 12, 10. So coming off the WMBA, haven't heard yet how they're going to try to figure out what a woman is because that's a requirement to play in a league that is gender specific. Pretty easy. We'll see. Hit us with the word. and give us a really good example, something that is the epitome of it. Joe and Exton on Talk Radio 1210. Hello, Joe. Yes, hello, Dom. Good afternoon. Afternoon, Joe. In the film, The Hustler, Jackie Cleason epitomizes a hustler by his masterful ability in the sport of pool. And secondly, Leeson epitomizes a hustler by his innate masculinity, which charms and attracts women. All right. No, he's not. Sorry, what Joe. Fast Eddie, Paul Newman is the hustler. The hustler is a guy who makes you believe he's only a routine player. loses to you and then wins big money. I never understood, though, why your thumbs get broken and all that type of stuff. I mean, you know, buyer beware. But apparently it's... There's no integrity in the game at that point. Well, you shouldn't be playing if you can't afford to lose it. I mean, you've got to make a judgment. You're dishonoring the game, though. It's like the same thing as like, I don't know, baseball players taking steroids. You're not, you're doing a disservice to the game. Oh, if there were a league and rules and all that, but in pool, there's not any, you know, there's nothing, nothing. There's got to be a certain level of decorum or else people are just going to use their hands and throw them in the holes in the side. What do you mean? All right. 855, 8, 3, 9, 12, 10. It doesn't meet the definition. That's when the WNBA will come up. Well, Jackie Gleason's the hustler.

Not Paul Newman. Bruce in the Northeast. Hey, Bruce, good afternoon. What's your... Hey, Dom, I want to mention to you and your listeners, you know, Dom, I want to mention to you and your listeners, you know, as we speak, there's an eclipse going on right now, but then again... It's not really taking place. You know what I mean? Yeah, the news reporting is kind of spotty on this. What can we know from the eclipse desk here? I think the same thing. They're saying it's not really an eclipse. Right. I've been saying that all week about things. But what's your call? My answer today is a world-class aristocrat. And that would be none other than Joe Exton. You know, they used to have this expensive liquor called Harvey's Bristol Cream. And I can picture Joe's sipping Harvey's Bristol cream out of a goblet with the pipe and the smoking jacket next to the fireplace. That's Joe Vechton, an aristocrat. Nicely played. I like it when a listener is brought in as the illustration of the whole thing. Or is that listener on listener crime here? I'm not sure. No, I think it's a good. It is. He is a classist. You know, it's a little more, which is a cousin to an aristocrat? uh michael in wilmington i could see michael being an aristocratic kind of guy he's elevated hey michael good afternoon hey don my good sir i really i appreciate that coming from you the good sir is the tip there oh my good sir Yes, my good sir, with the eyepiece and the top hat on that I walk around with. Yeah, my good sir. Well, I once took a picture for the Daily News in that. You can Google what people can. We should put it up on YouTube. It was to mock Johnny Doherty saying I had monogram sleeves on my custom-made shirts. Oh, hey, that's French Cuffs or regular, Dom? Oh, French Cops, of course. I mean, you know, my butler picks, picked them out for me. Five days in the newspaper, five days in the daily news printed back and forth between me, Jim Kenny and Johnny Doherty. Amazing. Hmm, like it, like it, Tom. So my side is today, when I think of the quintessential rat or snitch, I think of this movie, although based on a true story, this young man comes out of the courtroom. Are you mad at me? No, I'm not maddy. I'm proudy. I'm proudy because you never rat in your friends and you always keep your mouth shut. And that's Henry Hill, who then eventually ratted out the entire crew, his entire friends and all the mafia to have to go in the Witness Protection Program. who ratted out everyone, the biggest rat in the movie, Henry Hill. That's my side, Dom. That is a good one. I interviewed Henry Hill right a year or so before he died, and he was Weasley, and he didn't look anything like Ray Leota. No, they never do. That's the guy, if there were one guy to play you in a film, it's Ray, he never looked as good as he did in that film. Nobody could look like that. Yeah, perfect. Henry Hill was not that. And I like the justification at the end, you know, it's not the same life.

I can't even get a, what is it that he wanted? Was it a steak? No, it was a pizza? Something like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was macaroni, something like that. Yeah. Speaking of food, Zenos in Upper Darby. Zenos, what's yours? Good afternoon, Dom. I got to make this fast. There was another god. His name was Narciss. And we have the same God. He lives in Philadelphia, and he's the district attorney. But he changed his name to Narcissus. And that's where he's at. Krasner. All right. Larry cleaning glasses is a very good illustration of that when he does the glass clean. We have to know when Jim Jordan is going to face off with him. My God. Tackle football, Larry? I don't think so. Riding Bikes. Tom of Rosemont, a Turner extraordinaire. I don't want to ever see this on his billing for his firm, Dom Giordano's show. Unless we get a cut of that. Hey, Tom, how are things? I'll send you the invoice, Tom. Okay. This is the epitome of something to the point where all you need to hear is a few notes from a cello. It is the poster fish. of all sharks. There are hundreds of species of sharks, but the great white shark is the epitome of the shark. Absolutely. Thank you, Tom. And John and Fox Chase, our last hitter today. What's yours, John? Yes, I just want to say you guys do good work. I learn and left from your program. Well, thank you, John. The word is nuts. It's the word they sent back to the German general when they asked the Americans to surrender and pass stones. Sure. Okay. I think that's the epitome of a hard no on that. And it wasn't patent. It said it. All right. This was a minefield today on this definition stuff. They were good, but we were swerving all over the place. What's yours, Kurt? I'm going with David in South Carolina with the South and the accent. It was very good right out of the box. Henry? Yeah, I got a second that. I thought that was one of the calls that encapsulated it today. I also got a shout out, Bruce. I think. Joe of Exxon and Aristocrat. It goes together. And Michael Wilmington with a rat and Henry Hill. Yeah, they're synonymous. I think we had Dave and Lexington right out of the box, David. The southern accent, when you think accent, it's either British or Southern, but here probably Southern. All right. Michael Pelka's got a Delawareian or Delawareian accent. I think he's next for three big hours. We are back tomorrow with Bill Devlin from Cuba. All that here, Dom Gierdano Show, Talk Radio 1210, WPHT.
